**Issue Description:**  
Why does anyone playing a certain class want to play with 2 or 3 more of the same kind when playing alone on quickplay. This dosnt make any sense and is nearly common for me. I would rather wait a bit long on matchmaking for a proper team with max 2 kind of the same class. Because the team works best with a good class distribution otherwise the game director conters you and your team to damn good. like a lot of snipers and mutants if you are 3 psykers in a team, because they take a long killing time.

**Steps to Reproduce:**  
play your on game a lot and test that kind of stuff before releasing

**Mission Name (If Applicable):**  
anyone you want … -.-

**Platform:**  
[Steam/Microsoft Store]  
steam

**Player ID:**  
any

**Approx. Time of Issue & Timezone:**  
anytime at any server region

**Reproduction Rate:**  
Once - Rare (\<10%) - Unusual (\<25%) - Common (\<50%) - Often (\<75%) - Constant (100%)

Common to often since the last patch were you introduce t he Auric mission system, which is damn good _-_ BIf thanks for that.

* * *

Please consider proper class distribution on matchmaking if you play alone or just with 2 ppl in a strike team first and to a max of 2 of the same class. All other combination are just dont make sense when you dont decide that on intent like in a complete premade strike team.

Sorry but i don’t have this problem at all and your example is actually a counter indication. With deimos and brainburst three psykers can annihilate a mutie wave and a sniper wave at no risk.

I like playing quads sometimes. Its fun.

Hey Reginal,

Sometimes this would be fine and maybe with a pre-made team but when i play alone on quickplay if wish that such constelation barely happens and not commonly to often.

I have the same issue on a common base on my Veteran too, were i do not like it to play with 3 - 4 Veterans in a team too. This is not fun if i cant decide to be fine with it on my own.

Because it happens to often, I constantly keep leaving such games because my time for me has more worth than the current matchmaking trash constelation which drives me crazy.

As i said, sometimes it can be fun. When decided to do so with friends or premade team. But when i wanna play some games in the evening after work i wanna enjoy Darktide and the chellenge to play hard missions but not just wasted and countered by AI direktor going crazy together with a trash matchmaking result.

I write this here because for me it is totally bad when this happens and i dont want Darktide to stresses my out, for that i have my job on a daily base and get paid for.

OP is right

The game tend to associate players with same class.  
Seeing a mission that had one player of each class, is really rare.  
At contrary, seeing one mission with 3 ogryns happens really often.

I can attest to OP. I played 15 games in two days, 10 games on 15 I was with 2-3 persons with the same class. I played as Vet and Zealot. It’s rare to see a team with one of each class.

I’ve definitely found this. When I played my Ogryn, I’d say a solid 75% of the time there was another Ogryn on the team, and I’ve had a lot of games go with 3 ogryn.

vs when I played any other class, I only played with an ogryn a very small handful of times, and there usually is 1-2 of the same class cued.

I think I’ve played with 1 of each class maybe like, less than 10 times total.

My apologies if i misunderstood OP’s complaints. My observation was that his complaint was that the game was harder to play with 3 or 4 of the same class and that it was unpleasant in this way. I don’t agree the game is harder this way.

If the complaint is just that its not fun how there seems to be a tendency for games to place you with 2+ of your class leading to a lack of aesthetic variety: then I totally agree. Thats annoying as hel.
